8. (a) Prove that if p and q are odd primes and q | a² - 1, then either q |a - 1 or else q=2kp + 1 for some integer k. [Hint: Because aP = 1 (mod q), the order of a modulo q is either 1 or p; in the latter case, p(q).] (b) Use part (a) to show that if p is an odd prime, then the prime divisors of 2P - 1 are of the form 2kp + 1. (c) Find the smallest prime divisors of the integers 2¹7 – 1 and 22⁹ (a) Vanif 0

[Hint: Assume that there are only finitely many primes of the form 4k + 1; call them
Pi, P2, . . . , Pr. Consider the integer (2p1 p2 Pr)² +1 and apply the previous prob-
lem.]

q = 2kp + 1 for some integer k.

case, p| ø(q).]
